--- the mask wasn't fooling anyone


This one is quite personal to me, and creating this I wanted concepts about not hiding your pain especially under a false image of happiness and contentment. Lately I've realized that even if you may think no one knows, sometimes it can't be more obvious. The mask is a message from you that just tells people to pretend everything is okay and if you're looking for help it's a way of never getting any. I mean, I still have a hard time talking about how I feel even to people really close to me, but I'm starting to change that by not pretending or acting like I don't feel the way I actually do. 

but as always, please feel free to translate this piece however you like (:

I've worn my mask for so long that, when I take it off, people run in fear at the cracked and broken creature beneath. So I keep it on and pretend that the creature is not falling apart.

I've been in this situation, and having to wear the mask may be the most painful thing of all.

Such a beautiful and significant message to this one Tato, and it’s one that I can truly resonate with. Thank you for sending a message like this (as you always do), but especially this one that doesn’t get noticed often except by those who have peered through that same mask.

I nearly did a backflip, but this isn't related to Phantom of the Opera. I just got home from seeing that, so yeah. I love this though!
